holidays

Our love for gingerbread has been so real and were not sorry about it one bit! We hope your obsessed with gingerbread too because we have an epic roundup of healthy gingerbread recipes for you to enjoy from our favorite bloggers that go beyond the traditional gingerbread cookie!

I don’t know about you all, but holidays mean family time. I love gatherings with my big, beautiful italian family and creating amazing memories that I remember for a lifetime! Food, desserts in particular is always the center of our family functions because we are italians and italians love to eat!

The most popular dessert is ALWAYS Grandmom’s biscotti because grand mom is a specialty cookie artist. NOTHING beats Grandmom’s cookies, I repeat nothing! She’s got 85 years of biscotti making under her belt and she’s still going strong at 90! Even if I follow her exact recipe, they still don’t turn out as good as hers does because she’s got the magic touch!

Now I know I’ll never ever be able to compete with Grandmom’s biscotti, but I wanted to make my own healthy version that could still wow a crowd. When I saw the Recipe Redux contest with siggi’s yogurt, I knew this was my calling to make the popular italian holiday cookie.

Siggi’s Yogurt is an icelandic style yogurt that includes simple yet delicious ingredients with not a lot of sugar. And another awesome aspect of siggi’s is that each flavor contains more protein than it does sugar! Not all of national yogurt brands can say that!

I combined siggi’s amazing quality coconut 2% yogurt with other simp ingredients to create these healthy but decadent Grain-free Pomegranate Dark Chocolate Biscotti! Seriously, these italian holiday cookies are bursting with flavor and will be perfect on your holiday table!

With christmas peeking behind the corner, I just couldn’t help myself getting into the christmas spirit a little early. I always look forward to baking desserts for holiday parties, but this year things are going to be a tad different. Instead of using tons of butter and unhealthy ingredients, my plan is create healthy clean eating recipes without my family evening knowing! The same great taste but way less calories and tons of health benefits! Peppermint is one of the official flavors of Christmas so what better way then to make healthy clean eating peppermint brownies? Packed with loads of health benefits like fiber, vitamins, healthy fats and so on, you won’t know they are healthy!

You’ll want to spread this delicious Pumpkin Salted Caramel Almond Butter on everything! It’s AMAZING and you would never guess that it’s healthy!

I’ve always loved almond butter and sometimes treat myself with it, but it’s so darn expensive that me buying it is quite rare. Seriously $8.99 for one tiny jar that will last me a week? Yea I don’t think so. So I finally hopped on the DIY nut butter train and decided to make my own gourmet nut butter. I love salted caramel flavored anything, and pumpkin everything is where its at, so I combined the two. The result you might ask? Simply deliciousness!

This delicious and healthy Cinnamon Sugar Mango Jam is the perfect spread on toast, waffles, pancakes or swirled in yogurt or ice cream!

Did you ever like something so much that you buy more of it than you can actually eat? Yeah I made that mistake more than once. I LOVE mangoes so when there was a sale I bought 5 too many and well, 3 ended up in the trash. The others were super ripe, so I knew I needed to make something with them pronto! I’ve been wanting to make jam, but never thought I was gonna make mango jam. But I did, and it turned out super awesome! The cinnamon and coconut sugar make it out of this world! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

With Thanksgiving and Christmas quickly approaching, I am always looking for new and unique gifts to give out to my family and friends. I always love making some kind of holiday food in a healthy way! I decided to adapt a gingerbread spice almond recipe that I found on the internet, making it with whole and better-for-you ingredients. I am sure that everyone from young to old will enjoy these gingerbread spiced treats! No one will know that they are the least bit healthy because they are so delicious! These are the perfect treat to bring to your Thanksgiving/Christmas parties or are a great gift!
